Before joining March Capital, Solomon Hailu—an immigrant from Ethiopia and a first-generation college graduate who moved from banking at Lazard into venture—built an early track record backing companies like Lemonade, Coinbase, Circle, Bird, FanDuel, Care/of, Radar Relay, and Sunday during his time at Tusk. In fintech, he tends to favor products that work alongside existing systems rather than replace them, and beyond investing, he serves as an LA Chapter Lead for BLCK VC and has appeared on NYSE TV speaking to both company building and talent.
